Juice Fasting/Feasting and high blood pressure?

[Firicia]

Hey everyone.

My mom has high blood pressure, and she wants to heal herself. She is interested in doing some juicing, but says that by the end up the day she seriously feels like passing out and she can't handle that and go to work. She's tried to the quarter slice of avacado and banana thing.

Is there anything else she can try, or is juicing with high blood pressure a bad idea?

i don't understand. is she juicing and finding she wants to pass out or does she feel like that without juicing?

i know my blood pressure comes down TREMENDOUSLY when i meditate! i would suggest she sit - straight back... for 20 minutes at a time (use a timer it makes it more peaceful as you aren't worried about how long you've been sitting) and allow herself to simply focus on her breath.

Oh sorry when she tries to juice fast she starts to feel like she is gonna pass out.

But I will pass on what you said, thanks Aleesha.

Perhaps a green smoothie fast would work better for her.

And there are a lot of different juices out there -- what kind is she doing? That could make a difference.
